Autor

Sarah Grand (1854-1943) was a prominent figure in the New Woman movement, an initiative advocating for women's rights and social reform in the late 19th century. Born Frances Elizabeth Bellenden Clarke in Donaghadee, Ireland, she later adopted her pen name and became renowned for her feminist views and the vivid portrayal of women's experiences in her work. Among Grand's notable contributions to literature, 'The Beth Book' stands out as a seminal novel. It vividly chronicles the life of Beth, from her constrained childhood through her awakening as a woman of independence and thought. The story serves as an allegory for the broader societal transition towards recognising women's intellectual and emotional agency. Grand's narrative style is characterized by its incisive critique of Victorian respectability and its exploration of themes such as education, marriage, and female empowerment. Alongside 'The Beth Book,' her other works, including 'Ideala' and 'The Heavenly Twins,' further cemented her literary legacy. Grand's voice-an amalgam of lyrical prose and sharp social commentary-continues to inspire and challenge readers to question the norms of their time. She passed away at the age of 89, leaving a rich oeuvre that contributes significantly to the canon of feminist literature and the ongoing discourse on women's rights.
